Federal IT & Cybersecurity Contracts

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

1 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

This digest covers a single federal IT and cybersecurity contract record totaling $118,377,479 in obligations, with zero defense-related awards and one civilian award. The entire signal set is anchored by IT Concepts, Inc. (Vienna, VA) and its firm-fixed-price BPA call order from the Social Security Administration, which supports SSA application, infrastructure, mainframe, and modernization environments.

The order is largely consumed, with $118,318,718 outlayed against the $118,377,479 obligation, and its base-plus-options value of $141,793,859 implies roughly $23.4M of option value not yet obligated. The highest-conviction takeaway is that the award reflects continued civilian federal IT modernization spending, though the data does not establish a budget trend or the recipient's public-market status. The key watch item is whether option periods extending performance from 2025-04-15 to 2027-02-28 are exercised and whether the unobligated option value is funded.

Investment Signals (2)

  • IT Concepts, Inc. Holds $118.4M SSA BPA Call Order with 98% Outlay (LOW)
    ▲

    IT Concepts, Inc. holds a firm-fixed-price BPA call order from SSA with $118,377,479 obligated and $118,318,718 outlayed, indicating the order is nearly fully consumed. The order was competitively awarded with no set-aside on 2021-08-06, but the data does not establish whether the recipient is publicly traded.

  • SSA Order Current End Date Precedes Potential End by ~22 Months (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    The current end date of 2025-04-15 precedes the potential end date of 2027-02-28, leaving roughly $23.4M of option value and the extension period not yet confirmed as obligated. Continued performance depends on option exercise or new funding.

Risk Flags (2)

  • Execution [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    Current end date of 2025-04-15 precedes the potential end date of 2027-02-28; the extension period and roughly $23.4M of unobligated option value at IT Concepts, Inc. are unconfirmed in the data.

  • Budget [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    Civilian agency IT spending depends on annual appropriations; the SSA order's remaining option value is exposed to funding decisions at SSA and broader federal budget cycles, with no budget trend established by this single record.

Opportunities (1)

  • ◆

    Follow-on task orders or extensions under the SSA BPA could extend IT Concepts, Inc.'s application, infrastructure, and mainframe support work beyond the current 2025-04-15 end date.

Sector Themes (1)

  • ◆

    The SSA award to IT Concepts, Inc. for application, infrastructure, and mainframe modernization ($118,377,479) reflects ongoing civilian federal IT labor-based services under NAICS 541512 and PSC DA01. This single record does not establish a broader budget trend.
